So I’ve been a lifelong Red Sox fan, but — like a lot of us — I never got over the Mookie Betts trade. My feelings about the team have been conflicted since then, and they haven’t given me much reason to come back.. firing Alex Cora and his whole staff hurt. (Even if the results were good.)

“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled “U.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

In a world of Jeffs, be like MacKenzie.
A tweet from My Mixtapez (@mymixtapez) says:
“Billionaire MacKenzie Scott has gifted another $38 million to Atlanta’s Spelman College, bringing her total donations to 8 HBCUs to $387 million in the past 30 days.
She has been donating billions of her wealth every year since her divorce from ex-husband Jeff Bezos in 2019.”
The image shows MacKenzie Scott smiling at an event, and in the corner, a smaller inset photo shows two joyful Spelman College graduates in caps and gowns.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

In effect, the Supreme Court ruled that only it could decide issues on a national level. And then, with thousands and thousands of people waiting in limbo for resolution of many legally disputed Trump orders, the justices went on summer vacation, not to return until October.

The Supreme Court should make it clear that Presidential actions that violate a court order cannot be “official acts” and therefore a President would not be immune from prosecution for them.
